Site Dedication

Minds in Bloom is dedicated to Mary Ann Simpson who founded the Open Window School in 1983. When Mary Ann headed the school, Creative and Critical Thinking were a part of almost everything we taught. My interest and enthusiasm for teaching higher level thinking stems directly from her influence.
